I didn’t read nearly enough in 2015; there just wasn’t enough time. Lots of people think I sound crazy when I say that because they’re happy if they’ve read 1 book a year, but for me, reading is a necessary fuel for writing and there wasn’t enough of it to spawn even a single new word. Of the things I did find time to read, I actually read more comics/mangas/graphic novels than anything. My appreciation for the art and their ability to get a story across in less pages than books really grew for me in 2015. I suspect that will continue to be true in 2016 and I’m excited about it. Below is a list of the things I read, in the order I read them. The books are all clickable and will take you to my GoodReads reviews on them if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

While I plan to try my hardest to buy very little books in 2016 and actually work on all the books in my already existing TBR pile, I’m always open to suggestions for things I should be reading — especially in the comics department since that’s primarily new to me and there’s SO many to chose from. Feel free to leave some recs in the comments below!

I didn’t read much in 2015, either. Like you said, there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day! Anyway, best of luck avoiding the urge to buy too many new books this year, so you can make a proper dent in your TBR pile! I’ve already failed at that, LOL. (Got a bunch of comics and manga in the mail this past week, and a couple more are already on the way. Whoops.)

I did pretty good at not buying too many books last year, but the comics not so much – lol. I imagine the same will be true this year, but one good thing is I got $85 worth of gift cards to our local comic shop and if I’m smart I’ll actually spend it on comics and not toys. 😉
